Scotland and north england
— The ultimate way to unwind
Rest on the water's surface as Kotamo, crystal bowls, and gong move sound through you, not just around you. Feel the tension leave your body as you relax, reset and reconnect.

— what is it
A sound bath on water.
You rest on a floating bed while being immersed in soothing sound, the gentle sway of the water meeting therapeutic tones from Kotamo, crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls and gong. A full-body experience that promotes deep relaxation.
Unlike sound baths on land, the water amplifies the vibrations, making it feel as though the sound moves through you. A chance to truly let go, quiet the mind and fully unwind.
No previous experience needed, just bring an open mind and a willingness to relax.

Floating Sound Bath sessions are open to most adults aged 18 and over. However, due to the nature of the experience, being in a pool environment on floating surfaces, and to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort, some individuals may not be suitable to attend at this time.
Following our safety and risk assessment protocols, the following participants may not be eligible:

While we are committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming experience, floating Sound Baths require a degree of physical balance, mobility, and self-awareness due to the use of buoyant equipment and the aquatic setting. These natural limitations, combined with the availability of trained staff and lifeguards, mean we may not be able to accommodate everyone safely.
If you’re unsure whether this experience is right for you, we warmly encourage you to get in touch. We’re happy to discuss individual circumstances and explore what may be possible on a case-by-case basis.
What if I have a medical condition
All participants are required to complete a health declaration waiver prior to the session. If your condition meets our safety criteria, you’ll be welcome to join. Please refer to the 'Are Floating Sound baths right for me section' or Please contact us in advance and prior to purchase to discuss if you’re unsure.
How do I get on and off the floating beds?
Each participant is guided onto the floats from the poolside with assistance from staff members. You'll be shown how to position yourself safely and comfortably. The process is simple, dry (you won’t be submerged), and designed to be as smooth and supportive as possible.
Are the floating beds safe?
Each bed is thoroughly inspected before and during each session. We have trained staff monitoring the pool at all times, both in and out of the water, as well as a qualified lifeguard on duty. While no equipment can ever be 100% fault-free, we act swiftly and professionally if any issue arises.
Where are sessions held?
We currently run sessions across the Scottish Borders, including venues in:
-
Peebles
-

What happens during a session?
Each session begins with a short mindfulness practice to help you settle into the space and become present. You’ll then be guided onto your float, where you’ll remain comfortably supported throughout the experience.
Once everyone is settled, the sound journey begins, featuring a combination of crystal singing bowls, Tibetan bowls, and gong. These instruments are played in a carefully structured sequence designed to create deep relaxation, encourage stillness, and promote inner calm.
Loo breaks
We encourage attendess to use the facilities before the start of the sessions which run around 50mins.
However if you need to leave the float during the session—for the toilet or any other reason—just raise your hand and our pool attendant will help you exit safely.
What should i bring?
A bottle of water, regular comfortable clothes. A change of clothes and towel is also advisable.
What if I snore or fall asleep during the session?
While it's common for participants to feel deeply relaxed, our team monitors everyone closely throughout the session for safety. If you fall asleep and we observe any signs that indicate discomfort, shallow breathing, or potential risk, a staff member will gently wake you to ensure your wellbeing.
Light snoring is not an issue, but if it becomes disruptive or appears to signal deeper sleep that may compromise your awareness in the pool setting, we will intervene as needed. Your safety is our priority.
Can I book for a group?
